Yes and no, it can ruin mid-level play. Since Raph can bait RE cancel it and attack regularly or just cancel and do a horizontal. His RE also tracks so you have to walk around him meaning if you simply sidestep you get him and if you walk he can cancel and do the ol 6BB.

>Still no Cassandra

Denuvo is the only reason I haven't bought it.

>>16705971

pretty sure they removed it, if not it may explain why online is garbage.

>>16705860

The menus are kind of ass. The character creator has potential, but the costume parts list is pretty anemic and partially locked behind a paywall. I was really disappointed to see just how little there was to unlock by earning in-game currency. Even if you wanted to grind for it, there's nothing to fucking buy. The only tutorial is in the quasi-RPG mode, and everything else is in text-dumps hidden in some other menu. Despite character creation being such a big thing, there's so very little that you can actually do to customize your fighting style, beyond adjusting height for the reach/power tradeoff.

Also, the super meter shit is initially fun and flashy, but more often than not, it turns into an "I'm angry that I lost a match so I'm just going to spam these special attacks until I win" button.

SC6 is the game that keeps getting more denuvo patched into the denuvo every time pirates found a new way to break the denuvo. No, denuvo was never removed from it. It won't be removed.

This series has been circling the drain since III, what the fuck were you expecting?

>>16708551

How do you have MORE Denuvo patched into a game?

It is better than 4 or 5, but that REALLY is not saying much. I'd agree that 3 was the turning point, there was a marked decrease in quality from 2 but all the extra content made up for it. They should've never added meter and now they're trying to force it down everyone's throat. I just wish the devs would remember what made the game good in the first place and go back to it, but they'll never bring back things like getting disarmed and having to fist fight because you played too defensively because nothing is allowed to encroach upon Tekken which somehow manages to have more options in the character creator and is still less complete.

I don't know what it is with game companies in Japan just constantly screwing the pooch, it is like BAMCO and CAPCOM are literally throwing darts at a board to figure out what to do next.

>>16705860

Doesn't really matter anymore anyway. Steamspy says it gets like 500 peak concurrent users. Games dead.

>>16708628

It is absolutely not better than 4, but 5 is debatable. Only issue 4 had was it's pace, which was slower. 5 I didn't touch. But the mechanics in both pale in comparison to 6 and it's weird inclusion of comeback mechanics.

>>16708630

Such is the problem with any fightan game released right now. There's so many fightan games coming out that they get their initial surge until something new comes out and then die instantly.

>>16708643

Yeah it sucks. I liked watching it on twitch those first two weeks and trying to apply the things I saw high level players doing to my own playstyle to improve.

>>16708638

It has more uses for meter than 4 had, has more single player content and a better guest character, has more overall content and more characters than 4 and the lighting doesn't make every character look 20 years older than their stated age. While I think Reversal Edge is a terrible addition 4 started the meter bullshit which is the source of many comeback mechanics and Critical Edges which slow the game down tremendously whenever they have to play the cinematic.

You didn't miss much with 5, it was really bare bones due to having its development time cut by like a year I think? Old characters lost a lot of moves, other old characters were replaced with shitty new ones, the none-replacement new characters fit more in an anime fighter rather than Soulcalibur and the game was rife with cosmetic DLC for the character creator. Also had the least single player content of any of the games.

>In the time between Amy being released and now, KT released Kula and Mai for DOA6, announced a new beach stage and bikini costumes for it too

>meanwhile there's STILL no announcement for Cassandra

What the actual fuck are you doing bamco.

>>16708684

>Ehh wut? RE is super steppable and step->combo starter is staple mixup option for all characters that gives access to max damage. As for reward RE is neutral for one who did it. So you take super risks for … nothing.

It's not steppable, Raphs tracks and he can cancel it into whatever. But it can be activated quickly like if you use an unsafe yet fun attack like siegs jump downward sword slam. It blocks grabs,lows,highs,mids that's too good. It gives you meter very easily and it allows you to turn the game into a game of rock paper scissors and if spammed with some intelligence you can get meter CE and RE over and over for undeserved damage.

>RE is indeed stupid but it affects game much less then people whine about it (this is why RE is stupid - because it does nothing).

It slows the game pace to a crawl negating any fun flow it had because some kid is losing the game and you're winning. A couple RE hits and a CE can make you lose a game.

>>16708673

You didn't play 4 since the tower of souls was better than libra since you didn't have to waste time reading jap dialogue or mess with a shallow rpg mechanic. Also 4 had more customization options for free and best of all they looked good. This stuff is basic aside from the paid DLC.

>>16705870

Your image made me physically revolt and shake

>>16711658

>these massive spaces

These are like two lines beyond reddit spacing, the fuck are you doing. Also RE is very side steppable, I do it all the time. Not to mention I think you can block it but I haven't played in a while.

>>16708628

4 wasn't great but still DEFINITELY better than this lackluster piece of shit

> please buy this unfinished turd and all its overpriced "additional content" that should have been included in the base game, otherwise this could be the last SC ever goyim.

Fuck bamco

>>16711934

not with raph since he can cancel it and bait your step for a 6AA and it comes out so fast you can use it if you feel like you're gonna get hit and can treat it like a noob GI. Raphs also tracks so if you step once he hits you. You can't block it it blocks everything but breakers and UB and CE. So it's too strong and makes the fast pace null if you slow it down every round for a good 10sec.

>>16711658

>It's not steppable, Raphs tracks and he can cancel it into whatever

Pretty sure i launched Raphs many times from whiffed RE after step. As for RE cancel its Raph and Amy, who else? You are talking about couple chars not game-wide mechanic.

>It blocks grabs,lows,highs,mids that's too good.

It losses to step into 88B, shit that half of teh cast spam all day every day.

(and it can be stepped on reaction if you choose to do nothing or throw out single a/b poke)

>It slows the game pace to a crawl negating any fun flow it had because some kid is losing the game and you're winning

I had opposite experiences RE attempts lead into big launches. If people turtle with no unsafe moves than it leads into crawl.

>>16713041

I feel like there's an opportunity to add some sort of caveat:

Something about an Early Access Zombie MLisa with a pickaxe that's horribly pixelated and takes 6+ years to leave Early Access as a completely different game with spaceships.

Speaking of Soulcalibur, does anybody know of good bara artists who draw armored dudes? I want to commission something of Nightmare. I've checked Pixiv a bunch but most of the artists I found don't take comms.

>>16705860

What i found since SCV is that they removed many of the combos and increased the damage you do

Of course this makes the matches faster, but in the long run it makes them boring

The smaller character options dont help either

>>16715234

well raphs RE goes into preperation or cancels, so launching him doesn't prove me wrong. I've proven your advice isn't universal.

It losses to step into 88B, shit that half of teh cast spam all day every day.

(and it can be stepped on reaction if you choose to do nothing or throw out single a/b poke)

88B with who? cause attacking it without a breaker is a confirmed hit on you.

>I had opposite experiences RE attempts lead into big launches. If people turtle with no unsafe moves than it leads into crawl.

you stand still for like 5 seconds the attacks are in slow-mo literally, and launching isn't universal, that's only with some characters. And safe attacks can make the game fast, it's what evo consists of.

that joker looks worse than what people make in wrestling games

2 >= 4 > 3 = 1 = Edge > 5

I've not played 6, where does it fall?

>>16717796

6 is inbetween 2 and 3 in terms of it's enjoyment, since it shares 3's poor balance and wack glitches and stupid gimmicks but outside of that the combat is enjoyable to a degree. So if you ironed out the glitches and removed CE and RE it'd be a fantastic game.
